Umqondo Okhanyayo Ungena Ezikhathini Zobumnyama

USusan wakhulela endaweni enhle yaseSan Francisco, lapho ayekuthanda khona ukupheka futhi enza kahle esikoleni. Kodwa njengoba ayezofunda kamuva, ingqondo yakhe yayixhunywe ukulutheka, futhi ebusheni bakhe ukulutheka kwakhe kwakuwukudla. "Isisindo sami sasingihlukumeza. Ngangiwukuphela kwengane [engenabo] abangani abaningi," esho. "Nganginalawa mahora aphuma esikoleni ngedwa, lapho ukudla kwaba umngane wami, injabulo yami, uhlelo lwami." Lapho eneminyaka engu-12, uSusan wayesekhuluphele.

Lapho uSusan eneminyaka engu-14 ubudala, wathola “uhlelo lokudla olungcono kakhulu olwake lwaba khona”: izidakamizwa. Wachaza isipiliyoni sakhe sokuqala ngamakhowe, uhambo lwakhe lobusuku bonke, futhi ngenxa yalokho, wehla kanjani ngamakhilogremu ayisikhombisa ngosuku olulodwa. Amakhowe abeyindlela yakhe yokuthola izidakamizwa ezinzima, ezaqala nge-crystal methamphetamine.

"ICrystal meth ibiyisidakamizwa esidla ubhedu kunabo bonke, bese kuba i-cocaine, bese kuba i-crack cocaine," kusho uSusan. "Ngasishiya phansi isikole. Ngangincipha, futhi nge-crystal meth ngazaca. Nganginengqondo. Ngashisa impilo yami yangqongqa."

Kuze kube yilapho eyeka isikole samabanga aphakeme, uSusan wayengumfundi oqonde ngqo ku-A, kepha izidakamizwa nokuluthwa kwakhe kwaba namandla kakhulu kuye. Lapho eneminyaka engu-20 ubudala, wayesehlala "ehhotela elidayisayo" eSan Francisco njengentombazane eshayela ucingo.

“Ngehlele phansi kakhulu,” usitshele. "Ngangidayisa ngomzimba ngiphungule ikhanda ne-wig blond. Ngangiphuma ngiyosebenza, ngenze imali eyizinkulungwane zamarandi ngobusuku obubodwa... Konke lokho kwakuyimali yezidakamizwa." USusan uthe uzobhema uqhekeko izinsuku eziningi. "Bekuyimpilo yami leyo. Bekuyikho lokho."

Ngo-August 1994, kwavela inhlansi yethemba. Uyalukhumbula kahle usuku nesikhathi ngqo. "Bekungu-10 ekuseni ngoLwesibili. Ngibe nesikhathi esisodwa esicacile, esicacile lapho ngithole khona ukuqonda okuphelele ngesimo sami, isimo sami, ukuthi ngingubani, nokuthi sengiyini," esho. "Yayibanjelwe lapho emidlalweni emisiwe futhi yaqhathaniswa nengangikufisa mina, impilo ebengikulindele ukuba nayo. Bengifuna ukuya eHarvard."

USusan wabona ukuthi kufanele athathe isinyathelo ngokushesha. "Umlayezo engiwuzwile kulowo mzuzu wawucace kakhulu futhi ukhomba munye: 'Uma ungasukumi uphume lapha njengamanje, yilokhu kuphela ozoba yikho.'" Wafuna indawo yokuhlala indlu yomngani, wazihlanza, waqala ukubuyela endleleni.

Umuntu obemmangalela ubemcele ngosuku lokuqala olungahambisani nomthetho futhi wamyisa emhlanganweni wezinyathelo eziyishumi nambili egumbini elingaphansi kweGrace Cathedral, futhi njengoba uSusan ekubeka, "lo mfana waba yinyonga kodwa ngaqala uhambo lwami. " Kusukela ngalolo suku akazange aphuze utshwala noma isidakamizwa.

USusan: Ngemuva

“Ngangazi ukuthi ngizokhuluphala ngokushesha nje lapho ngiyeka ukwenza i-crack, ngakwenza,” kusho uSusan. "Ngibhalile ngafaka ibhaluni emuva, futhi ngabuyela emuva ku-rigmarole yokuluthwa ukudla: amapayipi ka-ayisikhilimu ebusuku kakhulu, izimbiza zepasta, ngiphila ngokudla okusheshayo, ngifisa, ngithanda, futhi ngiphume phakathi ebusuku esitolo sokudla."

USusan waqaphela iphethini ngokushesha. “Ngaleso sikhathi ngangisohlelweni olunezinyathelo ezingu-12, futhi ngangazi ukuthi ngisebenzisa ukudla njengesidakamizwa; ngangikubona kusobala njengosuku,” kusho yena. "Ubuchopho bami babufakwe izintambo zokulutha. Ngaleso sikhathi, ama-dopamine receptors ami ayeseqhunyiswe kahle e-cocaine, i-crystal meth, kanye ne-crack. Ngangidinga ukulungiswa noshukela yiwo owawutholakala."

Ubudlelwano bakhe nokudla kwakwehluke kakhulu ngalesi sikhathi sempilo yakhe kunangesikhathi esemncane, ephaka ukudla kwamadili amaningi ekhishini lomndeni wakhe. "Ngafinyelela lapho ngangidla khona izinyembezi zigeleza. Ngangingasafuni ukuba uSusan ngodaba lokudla; ​​ngachitha isikhathi eside nginguye."

USusan wayazi ukuthi kufanele afunde kabanzi ngobuchopho bomuntu - futhi ikakhulukazi ngengqondo yakhe - ukuze afinyelele emsukeni wokuthambekela kwakhe kokulutha. Bekungaba ukuphela kwekhambi lempi ethathe amashumi eminyaka yokudla, ukukhuluphala, nokuzithiba. Uzifundise kanzima, wagcina esengusosayensi wezinzwa oneziqu zase-UC Berkeley, i-University of Rochester, ne-UNSW eSydney, lapho enza khona umsebenzi wakhe wobudokotela. Wanikela ngomsebenzi wakhe wokufunda ukutadisha ubuchopho nomphumela wokudla kuwo.

Ukuphinda Ulawule Okuhle

Uchaze ukuthi umbono wokuthi "yonke into ngokulinganisela" akuyona into elingana. Ufanise ukuluthwa kwakhe ukudla nomuntu one-emphysema ngenxa yokubhema. Ubungeke utshele lowo muntu ukuthi athathe uhlelo "lokulinganisela i-nicotine" - uzobatshela ukuthi bayeke ukubhema. "Ukudla empeleni kubolekisa kahle kumodeli wokuzithiba. Kukhona inkululeko ekuzithibeni."

USusan uvame ukuhlangana nabantu bethi, "Awu, kufanele udle ukuze uphile!" Kulokho uSusan uthi, "Kufanele udle ukuze uphile, kodwa akudingeki udle ama-donuts ukuze uphile." Ngemfundo yakhe, isipiliyoni, kanye nolwazi lobuchopho, wayekulungele ukushintsha impilo yakhe ibe ngcono futhi alawule ubudlelwano bakhe obuhlukumezayo nokudla.

Ngemuva kokuthola iBaha'i Faith, uSusan waphendukela ekuzindleni. Manje uzindla imizuzu engama-30 njalo ekuseni njengengxenye yesiko lakhe lansuku zonke. Kwafika umzuzu oshintsha impilo kuye ngelinye ilanga ekuseni, “Lusuku engilubala njengesiqalo sempumelelo enginayo manje ngokudla,” kusho yena. "Amagama athi 'ukukhanya okudla umugqa' afike kimi."

Yiziphi imigqa ekhanyayo kaSusan? Kunezine: akukho fulawa, akukho ushukela, ukudla kuphela ekudleni, nokulawula inani. Useneminyaka engu-13 ebambelele kukho futhi ugcine umzimba wakhe olingana nesine ngaleso sikhathi. "Abantu bacabanga ukuthi ngokuqinisekile abantu bazaca uma bezama ngokwanele, kodwa ngokuvamile akuhlali isikhathi eside; abantu bavame ukukuthola futhi." Kepha akakayitholi, hhayi iphawundi elilodwa. Nakhu ukuthi kanjani.

Umthetho Wokungafaki Ufulawa noma Ushukela

"Inombolo yokuqala ayinashukela," esho. "Angiyibhemi i-crack futhi angibuphuzi utshwala futhi angidli noshukela. Kucace kanjalo kimina." Umsindo ujulile, akunjalo? Kepha kunengqondo ngokuphelele kusosayensi wezinzwa njengoSusan. "Ushukela uyisidakamizwa, futhi ubuchopho bami buwuchaza njengesidakamizwa; eyodwa iningi kakhulu, futhi inkulungwane ayikwanele."

Uma ukuyeka ushukela ngokuphelele futhi unomphela kuzwakala kungenakwenzeka, thola induduzo empumelelweni kaSusan. Usitshele indaba yokuthi uwafake kanjani amakhekhe aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngosuku lokuzalwa lwendodakazi yakhe ebaleni lokudlala, kwathi lapho ethola isithwathwa ezandleni zakhe, kwaba ngathi "spackle" noma "plastic," hhayi ukudla. Wayenesilingo esikhulu sokukhotha iqhwa ezandleni zakhe, ngoba kwakungamthokozisi kakhulu, futhi wahamba ubude benkundla yebhola epaki ukuze afike lapho angageza khona izandla. Futhi wenzela umndeni wakhe ithosi yesi-French njalo ngoLwesibili ekuseni, ngaphambi kokuba ajike azenzele isitsha se-oatmeal. Uphethe ngokuphelele futhi ngokuphelele manje.

"Inombolo yesibili ayisiwo ufulawa. Ngizamile ukuyeka ushukela ngaphandle kokuyeka ufulawa, kodwa ngokungazelelwe ngithole ukudla kwami ​​okubandakanya ama-chow mein, ama-potstickers, i-quesadillas, i-pasta, isinkwa." Isazi sezinzwa eSusan sathola iphethini lapha futhi. "Ufulawa ushaya [ubuchopho] njengoshukela futhi usula ama-dopamine receptors." Lokhu kusho ukuthini, ukubeka kalula, ukuthi ubuchopho bakho ngeke bube nezinkomba zokuyeka ukudla, ngoba uhlelo lwakho lomvuzo alusebenzi kahle (yilokhu okwenzeka ngezidakamizwa, futhi - ubuchopho bakho buba nesimo futhi ekugcineni awukwazi Ima).

"Ushukela nofulawa kufana nezidakamizwa eziyimpuphu emhlophe; njenge-heroine, njenge-cocaine. Sithatha ingqikithi yesitshalo bese siyicwenga futhi siyihlanze ibe yimpushana; kuyinqubo efanayo."

Ukudla nobungako

“Ukudla kathathu ngosuku kungekho lutho phakathi,” kusho uSusan. "Ngingumlandeli omkhulu wokungadli okutyiwayo, noma nini. Kunezizathu eziningi ezinhle zalokho."

"Amandla azimisele," kusho uSusan. "Uma ungumuntu onenkinga ngesisindo sakho noma ukudla kwakho futhi ulwa nakho ngaso sonke isikhathi, kungenye yezinto okunzima kakhulu ukunqoba." Wachaza ukuthi senza amakhulukhulu ezinketho ezihlobene nokudla nsuku zonke nokuthi "awusoze wawina uma ukudla kwakho kuqhubeka nokuhlala esizindeni sokukhetha. Uma uzama ukwenza ukukhetha okufanele nsuku zonke, ufile. emanzini. "

Ngakho-ke uhlela ukudla kwakhe njengoba ezishayela ngamazinyo. "Kucacise kahle uma udla nalapho ungadli." Une-oatmeal namajikijolo anefilakisi lomhlabathi namantongomane ekuseni. Uzoba ne-veggie burger enama-veggies ashukumisayo namafutha kakhukhunathi ane-apula elikhulu lesidlo sasemini. Ngesikhathi sokudla udla isalmon eyosiwe, amahlumela aseBrussels, nesaladi enkulu enamafutha efilakisi, uviniga webhalsamu nemvubelo yokudla okunempilo.

Ngaphandle kokwenza lokhu kudla ngokuzenzakalelayo nokudla ngesikhathi sokudla kuphela, uSusan unamathela esikalini nenani likala ngesilinganiso sokudla esidijithali noma umthetho othi "ipuleti elilodwa, alikho isekhondi". Lokhu kuzenzakalela sekukonke kumvimbela ekubeni acabange ngokudla, kungashiyi indawo yephutha.

Ngangazi ngohlelo olusebenzayo oluhlobene nale migqa ekhanyayo. "
